DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN produced a miss-of-the-season contender with a shocker at Leicester – as fans joked even their grandma would score.
The Everton striker looked for all the world as though he was going to equalise in the relegation six-pointer at the King Power.
With the ball played across the face of goal, he had the whole net at his mercy from point-blank range.
But the 11-cap England man somehow connected with his heel and miscued it at Foxes goalkeeper Daniel Iversen, who appeared to be helplessly stranded at his near post.
The Danish stopper kicked the ball away to safety before Leicester, leading 2-1 having fallen behind, raced away on the counter-attack.
Jamie Vardy turned Michael Keane inside out before dinking the ball over Jordan Pickford but against the bar in a dramatic passage of play.

But fans could barely believe what they had seen from Calvert-Lewin.
One said: “Calvert-Lewin me grandma could’ve scored that.”
Another wrote: “That’s not a big chance that’s the worst chance missed I’ve ever seen.”
A third added: “Calvert-Lewin mate we need to talk.”

A fourth simply typed: “Worst miss in history.”
And others compared the blunder to Patrick Bamford’s in the closing moments of Leicester’s draw at Leeds last week.
Calvert-Lewin had fired the Toffees in front from the penalty spot but Caglar Soyuncu immediately hit back.
Vardy rounded Pickford and tapped in for 2-1 before the chaotic few seconds.
There was still time before half-time for Seamus Coleman to be stretchered off with a horrible-looking leg injury.
And in first-half stoppage time, James Maddison saw a poor penalty saved by Pickford.
Alex Iwobi did get an equaliser for the visitors early in the second half, though, to spare his team-mate’s blushes and earn a draw.
